La Voz Latinx

La Voz Latinx at Connecticut College are here to celebrate our cultures. We are founded on a universal drive to incorporate intersectionality between all Latin cultures and beyond on this campus. In a predominately white institution, we strive to create a space in which underrepresented students have a voice and be heard. We demonstrate unity, power, and respect in celebrating our cultures by heightening awareness of the membership and the Connecticut College Community of the cultural, social, political, and academic issues that concern people of Latin American and Hispanic descent within the United States and abroad.
